            It's very unlikely that 53 years old would be considered an 
"old fart" by Ray Bradbury's standards.

Here's why:

       Bradbury's focus:        Bradbury's work often centers on themes 
of youth, technology, and the future. While aging characters do appear, 
the focus is less on labeling them with terms like "old fart" and more 
on exploring their experiences and perspectives in a changing world.
